Joint Action Alert: Connecticut and Alaska Baby Abandonment Box Hearings, February 20, 2025

Marley Greiner — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 03:41:15 +0000

Connecticut and Alaska have Safe Haven Baby Box bill hearings scheduled for February 20, 2025. We need your help now...Safe Haven Baby Boxes are a direct attack on the adoptee rights movement and bastards who speak their own truth. This year, as you will see by the 2025 Legislation page, the country is being blitzkrieged with baby box bills. Currently there are 316 boxes in the US. 55 newborns have been caught and erased from their own histories and birth records. The adoptee voice has been virtually ignored by baby abandonment box promotors who say that adopted people who oppose are "mentally unstable." Let your voice be heard now and show them who is really unstable.

Connecticut Senate passes HB6105! On to the Governor!

Tonight (May 25) the Connecticut Senate passed HB 6105, a bill that obliterates the state's black hole where more than 38,000 Original Birth Certificates were tosssed into suspended animation. because the people they belonged to were born on the wrong day. Under a deform law passed over 15 years ago, those adopted on or after October 1, 1983 were granted full unretricted OBC access; those born before were forced to throw themselves on the mercy of a judge to maybe get a court order. Since then several attempts were made to right this wrong, and tonight Connecticut adoptees won.

Bastard Nation Submitted Testimony Maryland H1039: Unrestricted OBC Access. Do Pass

Bastard Nation and its members in Maryland have worked in Maryland since the late 1990s to secure a change in OBC/adoption record access laws that restore the right of all the state’s adoptees ,not just the select few as under current law who are currently forced to navigate a cumbersome, difficult, and insulting gauntlet of restrictions, arbitrary procedures, and naysayers, to receive their own OBC,s which are rightfully theirs, without restriction.

Bastard Nation Testimony on SB113 – clean records bill. Do Pass

Marley Greiner — Sat, 22 Feb 2020 02:43:58 +0000

The passage in 2015 of Public Act 14-133 which restored the right of OBC access to Connecticut adopted persons whose adoptions were finalized after October 1, 1983, shows that the legislature understands the justice in OBC access. Unfortunately, 30,000 of the state’s adoptees were left behind in that limited law—their records remaining sealed and available only through a court order. SB 113 finishes the job making all Connecticut adoptees subject to the same right of access and due process.

Connecticut Amendment Goes Down in Flames: Legitimate bastards have a right to their OBCs; illegitimate bastards don’t

During Tueday's floor debate Somers introduced an amendment that guts the bill. Not only that but takes away, for all intents and purposes. the already established right of adoptees eligible to access their OBCs. Sen Somers wants to require a father's man's name to be on the original birth certificate before being released to an adult adoptee. Ironically Sen Somers, says that the current law is "anti-woman." Showing her adopteephobia, Somers added that the current law "opens wounds from the past, implying we are runny sores.
